Can’t understand how it can be so bad
I’ve tried, I’m patient, I understand not everything can work perfectly all the time but my patience has long been exhausted with play-fi. But I have been hanging on - hoping beyond hope that some update will miraculously transform it into a highly functional app.
Nope my latest device update has made it worse. So what is wrong, in my personal experience.
First off it’s a messy interface, crude even, compared with what the best can do. I use it mostly to play music through an audio lab 6000N streamer via Qobuz or internet radio. The Qobuz interface is horrible - if you’re actually on Qobuz it has an attractive interface - all gone on play-fi. A shame, a real shame. But that would be livable if it actually worked.
The biggest gripe isn’t that the interface is ugly it’s that, for me, it just doesn’t work. I’ve tried, I really have. The saddest thing is it destroys my enjoyment of streaming music. How that? Well first off it can take an age to connect to the device, this sometimes drops out, but worst of all is that connections drop all the time, I try transferring music to the device but 2 from 3 times this fails. So to start up streaming radio it takes 5-10 mins of messing about each morning. Oh for the days of a simple FM radio - one button and it works, I dream of simple FM radios, what a luxury.
The same applies to listening to music in the evening- it’s a lottery of whether it will work or not - nevermind how long it takes to get started - I’ve used different devices (all apple) but same result.
What prompted this review is a device update which took all day to complete- yes all day, no exaggeration first tried at 09:00 and finally managed it by 16:30. Hoping that now things would be smoother, better (I know the device is nothing to do with play-fi). As I sit here the radio is sputtering on and off - ahhrrgggghhh!!! What have I done.
I will upgrade my streamer - why oh why Audiolab did you go with Play-Fi. And vow never to use Play-Fi again!
Sound only plays from phone!
I connected my iPhone but the sound isn‘t working. Neither on my Airpods nor on my beats studio!!! The sound only comes from the speakers!
Hello 90s
The Ui is horrible, it is slow and has no gapless playback... no way!, I‘m glad that I did not spend too much on my device!
Ich bin etwas enttäuscht...
Wenn man die ganzen Online Streaming Dienste weg lässt bleibt nur noch die Musik (Lokal IPhone oder IPad) oder DLNA.
Was mir fehlt ist ein Zugriff via Netzwerk Share auf mein NAS QNAP so wie SONOS das macht. Sorry aber DLNA ist einfach misst und sieht doof aus und ist schlecht zu bedienen für mich bis jetzt unbrauchbar.
